At first, when I wake, I don't remember where I am. I don't know what woke me. I lie still trying to see something in the darkness, listening.
"Peel the skin off!" I try not to move, even though the sound of the voice - shrill and harsh - seems to be coming from just behind my head.
"Shhh!" another voice, this one appears to be coming from somewhere further down my body. I realise I can feel something on my belly, crawling up it. I swiftly sit up, using my hands to brush away whatever the thing is that is on me.
"Oy!" a voice comes - now on the other side of the room. "No need for that!"
"Who are you?" I shout, continuing to use my hands to pat myself all over, just in case there are more of these creatures on me. Suddenly, there is the sound of a match being struck and a light appears. I blink, and my eyes adjust to the change.
There are two creatures sitting on the otherside of the cell.
...
What a nice story
